ATA Northwest is dedicated to enhancing our community and its citizens through the positive personal development of our students.

We accomplish this task by adhering to the following guidelines:

• Providing inspiration of personal excellence through our examples as Black Belts; both in and out of the school. The "Black Belt Attitude" and "Black Belt Excellence" themes encourage everyone to strive for their personal best in everything they do; whether training in class, interacting with family at home, or studying in school.

• Actively educating our students on the lifeskills taught in our centers.

• Securing the long term growth of our schools and staff by providing legendary customer service and safe, professional martial arts instruction. Our students and their families come first. Their personal well-being is as important to us as it is to them.

• Providing our students with the latest training and educational tools available in our industry. Each of our Instructors will attend a minimum of two continuing education seminars a year.

• Educating parents in the community about stranger awareness and assault prevention techniques. By providing free clinics to the general public on these topics, we hope to make our community a safer place to live.

ABOUT ATA NORTHWEST

ATA Northwest is a group of 14 independently owned and operated schools located in Oregon and Washington.

Each of us is a member of the world's martial arts organization, the World Traditional Taekwondo Union. The United States affiliate of the WTTU is the American Taekwondo Association.

We offer what we believe is the best martial arts training in the world. Taekwondo is an exciting and powerful martial art known for its dynamic kicking and hand techniques. Although these martial art techniques are centuries old, our programs are constantly evolving to keep pace with the rapidly changing world.

At ATA Northwest centers, we are not interested in just teaching self-defense. We are interested in the complete personal development of each student. Individual attention is a feature of each and every class, allowing students to progress quickly and confidently toward their personal goals. Our Instructors take their responsibility seriously as role models for younger students, teaching them the importance of strong character, leadership and good values.

The teaching curriculum at ATA Northwest schools is based on two concepts: "positive mental attitude" and "high goal setting." We feel so positive about this program that we promise to give you and your family the most professional, well supervised and the highest quality classes available in any sport or art.
